Six people have been confirmed dead after a giant
rock dislodged in Brazil canyon near a lake in
Capitolio, a city in Minas Gerais state.

In the horrific scene captured on video, boaters
were heard screaming as they watched a large slab
of rock fall from a canyon onto boats cruising the
lake near Capitolio, a city in Minas Gerais state.

Two of the boats were directly hit by the falling
stone, but authorities were able to rescue 24 people
from those vessels.

Three women and four men were confirmed dead,
Pedro Aihara, a spokesperson for the Minas Gerais
fire department told newsmen. More than 30 people were treated at the scene of the Capitólio city collapse, and nine were taken to hospitals with
serious injuries. One person was in critical
condition with head injuries.

Another 20 people are believed to be missing,
Reuters reported. Rovilson Teixeira who has worked
as a guide in the tourist area for the last six years,
said he was stunned by the sight of the falling
rocks.

Teixeira said;

“We are completely shocked, and nobody really
knows how many victims are involved.

“There is not just one, not just two but probably
many deaths. There are a lot of people with
injuries. The region is full of ambulances that
have come from other parts of the state to
help the victims. No one is sure about the size
of this tragedy.”

A spokesman for the Brazilian Navy said they are
opening an investigation into the accident. The
Governor of Minas Gerais state said in a statement
that the accident was likely caused by heavy rains
in the area that dislodged the rocks.

Authorities issued warnings for tourists to stay away from waterfalls in the area just hours before the accident.

Minas Gerais governor Romeu Zema said;
“We are suffering the pain of a tragedy in our
state due to heavy rains that provoked the
accident in the Furnas lake. Rescue workers are
still on the scene.

“We are in solidarity with the families at this
difficult moment.”

Furnas Lake, which was created in 1958 for the
installation of a hydroelectric plant, is a popular
tourist draw in the area roughly 260 miles north of
Sao Paulo. Officials in Capitolio, which has about
8,400 residents, say the town can see around 5,000
visitors on a weekend, and up to 30,000 on
holidays.
